Brinkmanns Braterei in Paderborn

Food was good, service was very nice.

The menu was very good and the food was very tasty. Price-performance ratio was perfectly fine

As always, a culinary festival in a beautiful location, even after I haven't been there in over 4 years!

Service is ok, food is acceptable

Just ate here, it tasted great. Service super friendly. Was fun

The food is okay as far as the standard menu (burgers, fries, etc.) is concerned. There are also seasonal offers from time to time. Unfortunately, you really have to say that the price-performance ratio is rather at the bottom of the scale. The prices are far too high for the fact that these are not exactly the most elaborate meals. You pay at restaurant level, but you only get slightly more upscale takeaway food. The latter is of course not a problem per se if the prices for it weren't so high.

I've been there several times and have always been satisfied. Today we had spare rips from the Oktoberfest menu. The spare ribs could easily be eaten with just a fork. I guess I don't have to say more... The dip was very tasty and the pretzel stick was better than the usual one from the bakery. It was served on a pretty slate board. The concept is that you have to pick up the food. If you don't like that, you'll have to eat somewhere else. From my point of view, it works very well and I have no problem with it. Service was very friendly. In my opinion, the price/performance ratio is also good. Logically more expensive than a few years ago, but anything else would really surprise me and put me off :-)

Several attempts were made, but unfortunately the same impression, with the last visit being the worst of the series. I think the prices are clearly too high, even for the quality - 14 euros for a vegetarian burger without a side dish is high - the taste is average, nothing special - service (even if it is really very difficult to find good service staff) was really unfriendly, especially since the The order only has to be received in a friendly manner, there is no more service in the self-service restaurant - the burger order was prepared incorrectly by the kitchen, we were made aware of it, it was initially denied, then: the burger was picked apart in front of us when we picked up the food, the wrong ingredients were taken down, The right thing was literally “slapped on” and pushed back over the counter. That's not possible: apologize, re-prepare the burger including the bun and bring it to the customer's table... In the end we wanted to take half a chicken to go, ordered it at the counter - then the kitchen: "we're out of chicken" - but there was still a whole chicken spinning happily on the spit - asked if we could buy it: D - "No, it fell apart" - ok, the "fallen apart chicken continued to spin happily (perhaps later served as a staff meal?), I just turned around less happily and left the restaurant - all in all: food average, nothing special and expensive - service training required - make the container extension a bit more comfortable, the restaurant itself has a cozy character 😊 The last visit was on October 30th, 2024 in the evening

Good selection of food and tasty.

Very good service !!! Ordered, paid and waited 45 minutes. When I asked, I was told that the order form hadn't arrived in the kitchen. If I hadn't asked, I would probably still be sitting there right now. NEVER AGAIN !!!

nice self-service restaurant. Clearly good menu. The portions were good.

The atmosphere is very pleasant and the food is very good. Especially the sweet potato fries are MEGA DELICIOUS👍👍👍. We will come back 🤗

Top location, self-service, really delicious food, even for vegetarians

Unfortunately it wasn't that good. If you order schnitzel you get 2 small pieces of meat with a little sauce on top for 10€ without fries or anything else. By the way, everything looked very frozen. Much more disturbing was the loud conversation between a certain lady and her colleague behind the counter, who said she was talking about feces while preparing my food. I wouldn't want to hear something like that even in a self-service restaurant. In the end we left over €40 behind. Next time we will prefer a different restaurant. Apart from that, we like to pay for good food, unfortunately we didn't have this here. No matter what we ordered. And the prices were relatively high, even without any side dishes or service. Unfortunately not recommended. The staff should be shown how to clean tables properly. Tried 2 tables, both were sticky and anything but inviting. I rarely allow myself to be guided by other reviews, but I've been there three times and it's gotten worse and worse.

Great food, value for money is top

I've been there three times now. The food was always perfect and the people are always friendly.

Very tasty...the knuckle with sauerkraut was super tasty...next time there will be chicken...

All in all good, but unfortunately a bit too expensive for the performance

Super delicious food! We'd love to come back.

Food is not served and must be picked up. Spare ribs salted a little too much. Knuckle very tasty.

Good place to stop for a break near the Lippes lake landscape. Very good quality of meat. Vegetarian options are also available. Wheelchair access possible, but toilets too narrow for wheelchairs.

War sehr gut und sehr lecker Viele verschiedene Möglichkeiten, Bratwurst, Schnitzel, Burger, Hänchen und .... Es gab dort am 24.8 ein Rindlimosine Abend und wir haben viel spaß gemacht.

Once you understand how the ordering process works, you can only recommend this location. Very good food, reasonably priced, service very nice and well organized. We would be happy to come back when we are in the region again.

We came with 2 families for dinner. While we ate the outside area (benches, tables) was cleared away. The supposed chili burger turned out to be a dry meat burger with jalapenos. After complaining twice, we were told that we had to season the burger ourselves. No response. Very disappointed.

A very nicely furnished restaurant, but hefty prices. I can't say anything about the food because I wasn't able to order anything. The staff was probably busy with themselves in the kitchen and no one was serving at the counter. It's actually a shame, because it was the first time in 5 months that I had the opportunity to stop the truck on the side of the road and...

Great dishes in a medium price range. Always good.

Beautiful exterior! The new parking spaces, which were renovated a year ago, are doing very well. However, when I was eating, I noticed several things that needed to be fixed... The food was quite good, everything was very fresh, homemade and the daily menu was very creative. I had the teriyaki burger and it was very good to eat. The waitresses were all very friendly and there was a lot going on. Now, unfortunately, to the things that didn't fit... Starting with the stingy stuff. The prices are VERY high... €15 is charged for a schnitzel without anything except sauce. This is only 200g, the size of your hand... You are therefore forced to order something extra and these extras start at €5... We decided on the fried potatoes with bacon. The taste was also good, only that it was very greasy and all the bacon was missing... so in the end it was nothing other than fries or potato slices. The daily menu also cost 18.50, but at least with reasonable chicken breast and fries on the side, so if then you have to recommend the daily menu. The main menu leaves a lot to be desired in terms of price. The next point is service. Niceness is a must, but the fact that you don't even have food brought to the table is something you have to accept. Especially because you pay so much, you think afterwards that at least the food could be brought to the table (you get a small table alarm that tells you when your food is ready to be picked up). This is not the case. You get 2-3 plates placed on a very wobbly metal tray, which is wobblier than the tablets you know from the school canteen... This makes the journey more difficult, especially if you have to watch out for tripping hazards. After paying, you even have to get the drink from a separate bar and bring it to the seat. Now, unfortunately, to the point that disappointed me the most. As clean as a restaurant is... the seating options were anything but that. The benches are very cracked and are already showing the filling, and even the chairs were torn by the sleeves, which conveys a central station atmosphere more than a courtyard restaurant. The lights were nice, you have a small table lamp instead of candlelight, I thought that was modern but as soon as you sat at the table you noticed how scratched they actually were. Many tables are also of different heights and are placed next to each other which created strange middle seats. The walls could also use a new coat of paint and the wooden sideboards haven't seen a sponge in a long time... disappointing if you still have to sit there... Tastes can of course vary, the food was at a level where I was really satisfied, but unfortunately I could never eat enough due to the price and the portions. The staff was very friendly and you may have arrived at a very busy time... But the thorn in the side is and remains that you have to pick up the food yourself for the premium and you will be disappointed with the portion. I wouldn't recommend it at the moment, but I would definitely give the restaurant another chance in maybe a year!

Beautifully furnished shop, especially the chef is admirable, how he cooks for the whole shop and how everything tastes delicious. Service is a bit inferior for the price, as you have to get the food yourself from the counter, but overall everything is fine.

A very special kind of self-service restaurant. A great selection of high-quality dishes. A great atmosphere with very friendly and courteous service. A restaurant that I will visit more often in the future.

2 years ago: We always enjoy coming here. The price-performance ratio is right here and it simply tastes good. Update September 2024: We have been regular customers for years, at least 10 years. There used to be really great portions at unbeatable prices. The burger now no longer costs around 9 euros, but just under 15 euros. But what's worse is that the portions are getting smaller and smaller. Unfortunately the burger size has shrunk. A few weeks ago I had a large salad with grilled vegetables. I used to barely manage the salad. This time I had to order more fries to fill me up. Really such a shame! This is the second time I've been disappointed. Brinkmanns: Please make it better!!! I'm happy to pay the prices, but I expect the tried and tested large portions. Oh yes, unfortunately the furniture is also starting to suffer. The seating fabrics in the winter garden are damaged. I would like to write something pleasant again in the next update!

It was very tasty and a good portion size

Good selection of dishes with decent quality for the money

Burgers, Kikok chicken, potato wedges delicious as always. But the cocktails were also good.

Delicious food.quick preparation. Nice service

Way too expensive but really way too expensive

Food great, service great, but you can expect the prices. There is also an outdoor area right at a traffic light intersection on a busy street.

Been in the area and driven past it many times. Stopped there for lunch now. Located directly on a main bypass road. Large parking lot directly behind the house. Nice outdoor spaces with large umbrellas and small play area for children. There is also seating inside and in the winter garden. Small, clear menu with relatively high prices. If you order at the counter, you get these ready-to-get signals. Waiting time was okay. You can also get food at the counter. So no service to rate. Portions are okay. The taste was also very good. The price-performance ratio is almost right again.

Very good! Only recommended! Everything is very tasty - made with heart and soul. Nowadays that is very rare! Thanks and keep it up!

Good food at a fair price. Despite the location right on the main road, you can sit quietly. Popular with both travelers and local residents.

The food is delicious. The service staff is friendly. Orders, payment and food delivery exclusively at a counter. The ambience is simply modern.

I picked up food. I was really looking forward to the fried potatoes with bacon, but they were soggy, full of oil, pale and the bacon was missing. And then I think €10.80 for a mixed “iceberg lettuce” is absolutely too expensive. The schnitzels could also be thinner. Was really disappointed!

You can go there every now and then.

Very good sweet potato fries and burgers! Ordering via website works great!

Super tasty. Large portion. Everything super fresh on the plate.

The store is so staff unfriendly and the food is expensive and small portions.

Ordered fries in a different way with pulled chicken…. The taste was great. However, the fries were way too much, the chicken less than a child's portion (5-6 small pieces in a separate bowl) Price absolutely unreasonable. A SHAME WITH A PRICE OF ALMOST 15 euros.

So Brinkmanns Braterei was there again after 5 years and it was super tasty, the employees were super nice, great team ate yesterday, it's worth the money. Always my pleasure.

We were there for the first time. It doesn't say anywhere that it's self-service!! We sat down, no one greeted us, just looked at us stupidly, after 20 minutes we went to the counter and pointed out that we would like to order something, the young lady took the drinks order and brought them to the table and put them down There was no menu saying that you should place your order at the counter! After another long wait, we went to the counter again and asked if no one was coming to the table. No, it would be self-service, wow, honestly people, something like that has to be clearly visible! The burger was quite ok, a bit overpriced, I ordered garlic fries for €5.40, they were fried fries drowned in a lot of garlic oil, see picture just disgusting... Conclusion: everything is overpriced, self-service, customer-unfriendly, better in every snack bar and ate cheaper, sorry...

Food good. Just the prices are a bit too expensive.

Unfortunately, in two visits I had to experience that I was served a pork schnitzel instead of the chicken schnitzel I ordered! On the first visit I complained about the whole thing! It was exchanged without any problems and I actually got a chicken schnitzel! But what then turned up negatively was that the fried potatoes were now cold! The hunter's sauce is served so sparingly that you can't really call it a sauce! Last Sunday we got a pork schnitzel again instead of the chicken schnitzel! Not only do you have to wait forever for your order to be placed - but it was full! But this was due to the behavior of the staff, who first had to talk extensively with the customer about the Libori Festival! When I suggested that I should actually serve myself a chicken schnitzel, I was laughed at! It happened as it had to happen! It was another pork schnitzel with very little sauce! My companion then ate it! Clearly a reason for me not to eat there anymore! The premises are very clean and inviting! Unfortunately, the ignorance of the staff clouds the whole thing! When it comes to serving drinks, great emphasis is also placed on personal conversations with friends! For this price I can probably expect to be served what I ordered! Twice the complete failure!

Unfortunately the price/performance ratio doesn't match at all, I really would have expected more for the money. Sorry, I can't recommend it.

Staff, food, service and ambience are simply great

To be honest, I was ultimately disappointed with the burgers given the prices. I've eaten better there for cheaper. Too bad about the money. The fries were good. We only had burgers, I can't judge what the schnitzel, chicken etc are like.

Super lovely staff. Beautifully comfortably furnished. The food is super delicious.

Aside from molded meat and chicken that has never seen the sun before eating, I'm glad that places like this exist. The food is delicious and you can feel that everything is fresh, the service is very nice and helpful. None of this has anything to do with an ordinary snack bar. Fast food restaurant with an emphasis on restaurant. That's why I think the prices are more than reasonable.

A small snack after a hike at Lippesee. Fresh concept, schnitzel in three meat variants. Portions good and sufficient. Always my pleasure

Was just there to drink coffee. The first impression was mediocre. I can't say anything about the food. Furniture outdated.

We have been here often and happily over the last few years. Went there again after a long time and unfortunately we noticed that the quality has deteriorated and the prices have risen significantly (e.g. BrinkmannBurger for just under €20). The price-performance ratio doesn't fit anymore... it's a shame!

It was tasty but expensive. No table service which is a shame

Update July 11, 2024 Again we had a delicious lunch. Did nothing wrong. 👍 Friendly service and short waiting times. Everything was freshly prepared. Gladly again.

Food was good. Unfortunately, the beer garden is on a federal road. Price/performance is top

The sweet potato citizen was, sorry, a mess.... The fried vegetables were good, but the patti and the guacamole were so tasteless... The staff was aware of the problem with the guacamole, I asked experienced 🤔😳🥴... Great, and yet it is still brought to the guest... But the plate was returned almost full... All I heard was "we'll get different guacamole in a good two weeks" . I won't test that anymore though... Addendum: I contacted you by email, but nothing happened 🙄 no answer.... Sorry, that goes with the guacamole..... 😡

Stopped by again after a long time. I treated myself to Kikok gyros with sweet potato fries and a drink. Great food at a reasonable price. To recommend!

Totally delicious and hot until the end

When it comes to service, you have to know that self-service is like in a canteen, but the price is like in a restaurant. Today I had a Jägerschnitzel with fried potatoes and salad. The salad wasn't my thing at all but that's a matter of taste, it looked very tasty. The schnitzel (pork) was really dry and poorly or not seasoned at all, very disappointing. The fried potatoes were very nicely prepared and also nice with bacon and onions, but here too I was disappointed. If I want fried potatoes that also smelled delicious, I don't expect such limp rubber slices! All in all, I'd rather go with the mobile widow Bolte.

It was a nice restaurant, clean, nice food

It's probably my age but it's not for me. Order at the counter first. Back to the seat. When beeps go to the counter to pick up food. When you're done, put the dishes away again. Every canteen's price is then cheaper. When I go out to eat, I want to be served.

Super tasty, just like last fall 🥰🥰

++ good to very good self-service restaurant cuisine +- still acceptable price/performance ratio 3 people, all burgers with additional potatoes and 1 drink each: almost 80 euros ++ lots of free parking spaces VG Bernd

Delicious as always, I'm already looking forward to the next visit.

It used to be handy but I don't go there anymore. The prices used to be reasonable. Not as expensive as a restaurant but of course more than a snack bar. Now prices are as high as in a restaurant and the food is not. And half a chicken now costs €10, which is really expensive. The excuse for this is Kikkok. So 3 stars because the price/performance is no longer right for me. I used to quickly grab something from there when I wasn't cooking. Or when we went for a walk near Lippe See. Now I would just pay 40 euros for 4 half chickens, without drinks, without salad or fries. The other dishes are just as expensive but not much better than at a snack bar. So now we're going to the restaurant to eat. Or ordering pizza is also much better and cheaper.

Very tasty food 🍔, large selection of drinks 🍻, nice service, great ambience.

Esse was OK for a snack bar, a little more expensive than others. But not bad quality.

So for this salad's size, I think the price is over 10€ excessively expensive, and feta cheese is charged an extra 1.50. Last time I was there now

We stopped there spontaneously and were really impressed! Great food, nice atmosphere and very friendly staff! There are enough parking spaces and there is also a small outdoor terrace, but very close to the street! The drinks and menu are quite extensive.

Had excellent asparagus and schnitzel Price performance ratio perfect

The food was very tasty and a good portion.

Mega! Super tasty, fair prices for the best quality! Nice people and the best atmosphere 👍👍👍

So far everything I've eaten there has been quite tasty. However, what I find quite disappointing is that no matter when I order baked potatoes, they are always out.

Very tasty 😋 great ambience despite being really busy, the food was quick.

Moin Folks, nun die Bewertungen sind immer subjektiv und mal bist Du gut drauf und dann „Hurra“, ja auch die anderen Zeiten gibt es, dann ….., ich habe gelesen, da ich aktiv hier mehr oder weniger bin, ja Zack rein und was soll ich schreiben, Geilogalaktisch 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Der Service, so wie man in den Wald brüllt, nun so kommt es zurück, Freundlichkeit hat hier einen tollen Namen, die Brinkmänner machen es mit ihrem sehr charmanten Team. Der Burger, wow, sehr lecker, das Brötchen in einer Superqualität, das Fleisch, einfach toll, ich werde hier jetzt öfters bremsen und einkehren, Leckerschmecker.

We were there for the first time. Delicious food. We come from near Magdeburg. We're missing something like that. We can only recommend the restaurant.

A clear no! For a second visit! Stopped by shortly after midday today. The waitress didn't even say hello or good day. When it came to drinks, apple spritzer was poured over you... ohh she said, this is the second time this has happened... I didn't think it was great!!! Also not nice other guests brought the food to the table!! No clear concept!! We were given a pager. 😡 In addition, the fries were cold. It had been standing there for a while...then the schnitzel with sauce was put on the plate. When I asked, the lady just said.....there was a heat lamp over it.....At that PRICE!!! I want them crispy and 🔥 hot.!! In addition, the employees made fun of a colleague!!! So that everyone noticed... IMPOSSIBLE!!

Frittenbuden Niveau mit Restaurantpreisen…..Pommes mit Saure 7,40€😂😂😂 Da hört der Spaß auf …..Wenn es wenigstens schmecken würde….

Very good food just a little overpriced.

It is a neat and well-attended place. Food was very good and definitely won't be the same the first time.

Well, a fast food joint with a few seats...I've eaten better.

Short stopover and landed a direct hit. Insanely delicious chicken. Great service. Gladly again

Great restaurant with delicious food. We particularly like the changing theme weeks. Something went wrong when ordering our food and the service came straight to us with compensation. Excellent! We'd love to come back! 👍

We can recommend very tasty food at reasonable prices, but the service seemed annoyed

Very tasty food, highly recommended, I ordered chicken that was really tender and tasty, will eat there again, great value for money

I ordered pulled chicken with fries! The pulled chicken was three small dry chicken breast pieces that I had to pull apart myself. Dry to the point of no longer possible. The sauce that was over the fries and onions was so oversalted (possibly with glutamate) that my tongue still burns. My girlfriend ordered the same thing and had the same impression. My daughter had a cold cheeseburger that was medium rare at maximum but was not declared as that. All in all, not very friendly customer service. A total disappointment for the price.

In short: portions very manageable, overpriced and simply not the quality I expected! Not again!

Everything was great except for the fries, which were always way too salty, so only three stars

Self-service isn't that great. Otherwise, the quality of the food and the speed are really top.

Unfortunately, the schnitzel with hunter's sauce wasn't good at all. The schnitzel felt 5mm thick, canned mushrooms and ready-made sauce.

There is delicious food and very friendly service here. The price is fair in relation to the portion size even at the beginning of 2024! Danger! Not for vegans! Clearly limited choice even for vegetarians!

Nice and uncomplicated, food good in relation to the price, ambience rather good for fast food

My wife and I were there after a walk around Lake Lippe, basically everything was ok, service was friendly, clean, the food was delicious, but now there were two schnitzels with fries, mayonnaise and two large drinks for 49! Euro cost shocked me a bit. Don't forget 49 euros is about 100 D marks. But the schnitzels were from happy pigs.

Really tasty.. Good service. Friendly staff.. I've been going there since it opened in 2012...I always enjoy going there for dinner..
